The news of the actress’s suicide continued to fester.
Briefs, commentaries, and condolences were continuously posted on Weibo by the media. In short, the keyword ‘Lu Jingtian’s suicide’ had become the hottest news in showbiz.
Truth be told, the missy was not particularly famous; she was but an unknown artist who had not had much opportunity to be exposed to the public yet.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIf this had just been a simple case of killing herself by jumping off a building, it would not have generated so much interest, and the craze would have died down in two to three days.
However, the incident of the actress was not that straightforward; it was shrouded in mystery. Since she was hospitalized, the issues surrounding her burns had been a topic of public concern.
The media’s fanfare and probing had also whetted the public’s desire to find out!
Despite being just an unknown starlet, to the bored public, she had become a topic of after-meals’ idle chit-chat. On the internet, many netizens questioned:
[How did she get burned?]
[Who was the suspicious person in black in the footage released by the police?]
[Could this be a murder?!]
[Was Lu Jingtian disfigured?]
[If this was really a homicide, did the investigation come to fruition?]
[Was the culprit caught?]
[If this is a murder case, then is there something wrong with the national security in the capital?]
The matter on her attack had not yet received a satisfactory explanation when news of her suicide swept the headlines of most major media outlets.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe events surrounding the actress’s suicide had been enveloped in secrecy from start to finish.
Two days after the incident, Huanyu published a sorrowful obituary announcing the incident.
This was what the obituary stated: ‘At the age of twenty-three, our dearest Lu Jingtian passed away by jumping from a building on February XX, XXXX. She was a popular young star, who made her debut in ‘The Green Apple’, winning praises for her outstanding acting skills and sweet appearance. However, just a month ago, she was burned in a fire accident, which left her body eighty-five percent burned, causing severe disfigurement and even disability. Since the incident, the company has been following her recovery. Her family, friends, and fans also gave her a lot of encouragement, hoping that she could come out of her grief fast and actively cooperate with the treatment for her recuperation. Her recovery was ideal, and just a week ago, she made it through the critical and infectious phase. At a time when we were all excited over her fast recovery, the sad news came that our beloved Jingtian, who was unable to come to terms with her grave injuries, jumped from the rooftop of the hospital building at 3 AM two days ago and died. We are saddened and regretful that what should have been a blossoming life has vanished for good. At this moment, all words are powerless to express our grief. The dead have already passed, and we can only hope that the sweet, young lady will have a good journey in the afterlife!’
Once the obituary was published, many netizens, who were still doubting the news, were completely convinced!
In the last few days, the story of Lu Jingtian’s suicide had been the talk of the town, even squeezing out the once-hyped Li Xiang’er.
What about Li Xiang’er?
Would she have thrown in the towel just like that?
Of course not.
EASE had worked up to the point of insanity in this hyping campaign, with no regard for the market’s sentiment. Even during the ultra-sensitive period of the seventh day1 of Lu Jingtian’s funeral, the company continued its outrageous publicity stunts that became more and more offensive to the public, so much so that many people actually proposed to block Li Xiang’er so that peace could be restored.
